Hmm. I dunno. His name doesn't exactly mean "snow" anymore, the way it's pronounced.

Hm... possible meanings of "yuuki" as a word are:

courage; bravery; valour; valor; nerve; boldness

ghost; revenant; spirit (of the dead); departed soul

definite period or term

organic

evocation; evoke

I'm sure we could come up with something.

We went with the "courage" defintion for how to write his name but since Yuki's isn't actually written as "snow" either...

So I guess his name is 勇気 now. Well, this is suppose to be a female name. But I guess it don't really matter. EDIT- By the way, remember the name don't really need to be a word. Yuki's name, that is many times translating as 'having hope' is actually just 'possess' and 'hope'. Forming no actuall word when together (tough it is easy think in a meaning).

I tought the same thing. But how he was named afer spirits? He was phiosophing about he being a gost and then named himself? He story seens to be even more lonely then Yuki's them. He names himself out of he own loneless.

Valor/bravery is a female name?

Since when are these classically feminine qualities? Where are you getting this information from?

I was thinking he would have named himself "ghost" out of spite/a sense of irony.

And yes, that does make him even more lonely than Yuki. Honestly, I think all he really needs is a hug.

Plus I can probably use that for Alter Yuuki, whose personality we never really ironed out...

... Damn it... though... I suppose it would make Tsuji projects unintentionally hilarious, given the usual relationship characters voiced by Lowenthal and Freeman tend to have.

All joking aside, however... I suppose I could try my hand at redoing Nagato's story. It's been a while since I've actually done anything here. Just don't expect it to be good.

Or, since she's easily the most gullible person in the world, she'll believe it's just a coincidence. I mean, large blue giants don't exist and there's absolutely nothing strange going on around Haruhi, right?

I tried to make a timelier response; but a power failure just had to happen before the submit reply button could be pressed.

Whatever happened to the plan to write in the chronological order? Ok, that doesn't really matter. I'll get started, but I can't promise I can do it quickly or good.

To quote one of Yuki's biggest fans, Nakagawa:

Spoiler for Extract from Vol 6 - Charmed:

Nagato Yuki. Nagato as in the battleship Nagato, Yuki as in "having hope".
"...It's a good name. One would think of the impressive battleship Nagato, while her name Yuki symbolizes that there is hope... Nagato Yuki-san... it's just as I thought, it's a clear name, full of possibilities. Elegant, yet not overbearing, and it doesn't sound aloof. It's just as I have imagined it to be!"

Yuki's name isn't exactly feminine either, so yeah, it'll work out somehow. We could add a line about having courage in the face of the cold snow; or how falling white snow look like spectres in the dark night. Unnecessary, but if Yuuki is a different Kanji from Yuki, this could help emphasize it.

What will we call male-Miyoko, though? "Miyo" is still a very feminine name...

A tough question... Mi~ like Miyo or Mio is obviously feminine. It has to be rearranged. Errr... Koyomi?

Which was exactly why the story was so messed up. An insane meddling editor and an apathetic pliant writer.

Maybe, Mikuru originally planned an "A Little Mermaid" style romance between a prince and a mermaid; but Haruhi forced her to insert a princess with Girl Power who conquers everything.

Btw, 勇気 means valor/courage. 勇 alone means more or less the same thing (exclude 'valor' and add 'heroism). And 気 means spirit/mind/air.

I'm also relatively certain that's how the Japanese fandom writes his name... can anyone check that?

I still like the idea of giving himself, a "ghost" according to the person-in-the-first-chapter-who-is-probably-some-version-of-Asahina, the name Ghost.
